Brake Light On problems of the 2012 Dodge Journey

While parking car and engaging "the parking brake,} the brake popped and a round silver looking item popped out from under the brake pedal and landed on the floor board. Trying to engage the parking brake became useless as the petal just stated engaged and when toughed it came up to the parking brake release place, if the petal was touched it would fall back to the engaged looking. When driving I did not notice any burning smell which told me that the emergency was not engaged even tough the brake light was on. At home I checked under the car and found that back and forth. The brake cable was loose and moveable. Looking at the round piece that fell off it appears to be where the cable was tethered to and this would be placed in the brake petal. The cable appears to have severed at the round piece(connector) making the emergency brake inoperable. There does not appear to be any rust but just severed.

Abs, etc and brake lights came on on the dash board after I parked on a slope and drove for couple of miles. Take it to the diagnostic technician and a failure is detected in the abs module. I understand there was an alert regarding this, but I never received any notification. Could you advice me what to do in respect to this matter and if it was a recall since 2015 why I never received the letter.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the abs, brake lights, and traction control warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the vehicle needed a new abs. The contact spoke with greenbrier Dodge of chesapeake (1717 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320, (757) 383-9734) and was provided a repair cost estimate. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Yesterday, while waiting at a stop sign my 2012 Journey shut off. I had no idea it had even shut off! I pressed the gas to go and the car wouldn't move. I was a little baffled because the radio was still playing. I put the car in park and pressed the ignition and the car started again. This is latest and most unsafe issue that I have experienced with this car. The radio randomly changes stations and it doesn't shut off when the car is shut off. I have to turn the radio off before I turn the car off because it will continue to play. This started about 8 months ago. The car was turned off and the drivers door was opened, but the radio kept playing. If I forget to turn it off before the ignition, I have to restart the car and let the radio play for a min or so before I can turn it off. Also, the rear air suddenly comes on. When I turn it off it comes back on. If it's synced with the front air, it will randomly go to the high setting. The Journey also does a jerking motion while driving. This happens on the highway or neighborhood roads too. We thought that maybe it was the transmission, but we had it checked and it's fine! after yesterday's sudden shutoff, I'm wondering if all that jerking was a sign of what was to come. The brake light has been coming on for a few weeks as well. I could be driving on a city street or highway and the break light comes on. It usually happens while driving straight, acceleration or driving at a constant speed. It happens so frequently that my kids are like, here we go again because we, our bodies, start jerking with the car. We bought this car brand new at the end of 2011. I loved it at first, but now I'm afraid to put my kids in it something needs to be done. There are issues with diff. Model years, so if the problems are being fixed on some, it should be fixed on all. After all, the company made $ on all of them & our lives are valuable.

Faulty abs module due to water leak, recalled on very many 2012 Dodge Journeys. For some reason, not recalled on mine. Noticed brake light, abs light, and traction light came on, I had a diagnostic done by my own mechanic and confirmed over the phone with the Dodge dealership that I was covered under the recall. After dropping my car off and the mechanics there not fixing the issue, I was told that my VIN actually was not covered under that recall. So my abs module is faulty for no obvious or apparent reason. I rarely drive on highways, I never got into any accidents, the 3 notification lights as noted above just came on one day when I turned the car on.

The brake warning light, abs warning light and traction control warning lights come on randomly. Sometimes the brakes fail to engage when the abs light is lit and the vehicle makes a weird noise (sounds like grinding sound). Yesterday my wife was unable to stop at a traffic signal and went through a red light when the brakes would not work. This model and year are under a recall r61 (hhtsa 15v675000) but Chrysler support says our VIN is not covered. Turns out that the manufacture date of our car is about 6 months prior to the reported recall manufacturing dates. This is a dangerous situation that they refuse to even look at or diagnose without charging us to do so. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that our vehicle is exhibiting the exact same problems and symptoms as detailed in the above recall. I guess they want someone to die before taking action. It is my understanding that safety items like abs are covered for 5 yrs or 100000 miles and our vehicle is under that description as it has 86,000 miles and was built 10/2011.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey. While driving 40 mph, the brake warning light illuminated numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v675000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Both rear brakes wore down to the metal and cut into my rotors. The brake light never came on,no scrapping or squealing. There should be a sensor that detects when brakes are getting low. I feel that this is a serious safety issue because my families life is in jeopardy;as well as mine.
